Understanding the barriers and enablers to supporting fuel poor households achieve net zero

Summary

Fuel poor households in England face substantial barriers to adopting net zero technologies, including high costs, complex options, and limited awareness, compounded by the cost-of-living crisis. This report, commissioned by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, analyzed these challenges and the effectiveness of current energy efficiency schemes through extensive research. The study concludes that existing schemes are not adequately supporting fuel poor households, necessitating a more ambitious, rapid, and people-centric strategy to ensure a fair transition.
